    motor problems

    Have you checked for codes? What do you mean by rebuild? What's new, what's not? Did you remove anything during the rebuild?

    to run or not to run? Boss turbo

    You'll smack into fuel cut regularly with the Boss. I'd go with a CT or pick up a set of 550cc injectors and a lexus AFM.

    Cruise Control troubleshooting

    Sounds like the same problem - switches on the clutch / brake pedal out of adjustment. What happens is your CC computer thinks you are applying the brakes or depressing the clutch pedal, and won't allow the CC to engage.

    Nice to see some more old guys joining! We need to increase the average age around here by more than 1 per year, dammit. :) Hope to see you with a smoothly running Supra in short order.

    Oral Interview Question (and I don't mean Bill Clinton Style)

    PS: Team oriented for sure. Lots of places will ask if you would rather work alone or as part of a team, I have yet to see a position where the right answer is alone. Maybe international spy or something! :D

    Oral Interview Question (and I don't mean Bill Clinton Style)

    Sure. Too organized is the obsessive compulsive guy - people who count every time they chew, or rub their hands exactly the same number of times when washing, etc. This type of person is really useful for some types of work, just not the kind of work you are looking for! Too serious is the...

    What 550cc Injector Choices Are Recommended?

    I use RCs, seem to work pretty good.

    oil pan gasket blewout!!! WTF?!?!?!?!?!

    You haven't capped off your PCV ports, right?

    To rebuild or not to rebuild?

    That's exactly what he means. I've blown a MHG. Not an HKS, though - those seem to be tough as hell. Maybe the shop neglected to pull the rivets out of the MHG that get in the way if you've had your block / head resurfaced? I've seen that before... If so, it's probably a pretty simple fix...

    Longest lasting engines.

    Agreed. My '82 Celica retired with 1.6 MILLION km on the clock, that's pretty damn close to a million miles. I had to replace the bottom end once, it spun a bearing due to oil loss at about 750k miles. Oh, and when it retired it was because I was attacked by a moose, and the SOB destroyed the...

    Cruise Control troubleshooting

    Before you do anything, check the switches on the brake & clutch pedals. They tend to need re-adjustment after 20 odd years.

    I'm looking for some kick ass hot sauce!

    I keep this Spontaneous Combustion stuff in my fridge - but it doesn't have much of a shelf life after you open it, and there's no way a single human being could consume enough of it to use a whole bottle before it loses it's kick. At least not without killing themselves. I like hot food, but...

    have transmission question

    As I recall there is, but I've never seen one really leak... they aren't subject to the high heat that engine oil seals are.

    Anyone else have surging issues with SSQVs?

    No, it won't affect idle. I've run mine with the BOV OFF - as in, big gaping hole into the IC piping, it idles perfect. I'm running MAP as well, of course, this wouldn't work worth a damn on the stock AFM setup. :)

    There are several ways, two of them are built into the forum software. During a post, scroll down to the Additional Options, and click Manage Attachments. You should be able to figure it out from there. Or, if you want to make a car domain style page, click on vBPicGallery at the top of any...

    Eagle rods have no bearing oil hole? wtf?

    I thought the hole was supposed to be on the other side? It is on stock rods, anyway.

    Unknown squeaking

    That's the bearing all right. I can't think of anything else that I'd absolutely replace when I have it out... I'd certainly check the entire release bearing assembly with a fine toothed comb, there's a fair number of bits in there that could cause issues if they are worn, and they don't cost...

    I have a warrant out for me? I don't suppose we have any lawyers here....

    If she won't tell, I'm not certain I want to risk her wrath by explaining. After all, this IS the girl that threatened to beat up CK if anyone called her fat... ;)

    Team Fortress 2... Tonight!

    Yup, had some good times there. There is NOTHING that beats the feeling of smokin' a spy with the Pyro.

    Closed end chrome for me. Lemme know when you need money.
